Uhm, they didn't quite "lose" it, in the sense that they purposefully
changed their music. From what I've read, when Curtis died, it was either
stop the band or start anew. Which meant both a change of name and a change
of musical style.

Personally, I like New Order _a lot_ better, though I was annoyed with their
techno experiments in the late 80's. But hey, their latest album sounds like
they've gone back to their roots, cool :-)

BTW, I liked Joy Division's _music_, I just always had trouble with Curtis'
voice. Just too freaking weird :-)

Speaking of weird voices -- Pavlov's Dog, anyone?? Yes, I know, that was in
the 70's. Yes, I know, that was actually _good_ :-)
